TroundUp

Headline Shirts is back with more goofy quotes attributed to famous figures. These quotes usually seem to be, well, something that the person would never actually say. Such as this one, with Edgar Allen Poe saying “I just wanna dance”. I don’t think the master of the macabre would utter those words too often. That’s what makes it funny (get it?!?). Anyway, I dig it, and I hope Headline Shirts keeps up the theme. I guarantee you will get some double-takes from readers of your tee that are familiar with Mr. Poe.

You can pick up the shirt for $14.00 (for a limited time at this price) at the Headline Shirts store. As always, be sure to read their product description. They write them quite well, and the descriptions are always good for a laugh. Lastly, be sure to check for a Headline Shirts coupon before ordering anything.

I just got an email from Tim about his ~one year old UK brand, All Round Clothing. Tim tells me All Around Clothing has been achieving some good popularity thanks to musicians wearing his t-shirts, namely Ben Bruce of Asking Alexandria. All Round Clothing’s motto is “Take your passion, make it happen”, which I think everyone can respect.

As for this shirt, I think it’s a great and interesting design. Some might say that desig a t-shirt around an illustration of a fox would be difficult, but I think All Round Clothing has nailed it. I love the way they used the simple colors, as well as the “sketch-like” style of the design. They’ve got it branded, but not in an obnoxious way (I didn’t even see it at first), so I’ve got no problems with that. Also, the fox is wearing a top hat, which is sweet (and a British tie-in). You can buy the shirt for 16 pounds at All Round Clothing’s store. It’s printed on a cream American Apparel t-shirt.

I’m a little late letting you guys know about this t-shirt as it’s only on sale for four more hours. I like it so much I had to post it anyway, though. It’s essentially an 80′s 8-bit interpretation of George R. R. Martin (and HBO’s) Game of Thrones series. It’s awesome. You can grab it within the next four hours for $10.00 at Tee Fury. That’s so cheap you have no reason not to pick it up!

I found this wicked Grizzly Bear t-shirt from Dusty Lumber on Rumplo. I don’t usually go for branded designs, but I think the grizzly is cool looking enough to win me over. You can buy the t-shirt for $15 at the Dusty Lumber shop. Dusty Lumber prints their t-shirts on American Apparel blanks, so you know the shirt will be comfortable.

Threadless just released the results of their “College! T-shirt Design Challenge” and boy are the t-shirts awesome. I would love to be one of the ten lucky schools that can now buy great mascot themed shirts from Threadless. Seriously Threadless–please make one of these for Temple University. I love the style, and I think you could do something great with our Owl mascot (Hooter!). For now, I will be forced to go without. If you go to UCLA, Alabama, Auburn, UC Berkely, University of Colorado, University of Illinois, LSU, Miami U, University of Iowa, or USC, go to Threadless and buy your school’s awesome shirt. Once again, please do this for Temple! We have tons of students and alumni.

Zamforia is a t-shirt/clothing company from the Boston area (Quincy, MA to be exact). They started out designing t-shirts that expressed “love” in different languages. They have since expanded a bit, with one of those expansions being this and a couple other band/music t-shirts. It’s a combination of their “love” theme with a tribute to Jimi Hendrix. I think the design looks great. There’s a lot going on, but it all pulls together well. The back of the shirt shows the sheet music to Hendrix’s “Bold as Love”, while the front has a ton of awesome stuff going on (go to the site to see it in greater detail). There’s also a tiny Michael Jackson hidden at the bottom.

I was surprised to see Busted Tees come out with a t-shirt referencing the Wes Anderson movie, The Life Aquatic. Usually Busted Tees sticks to “t-shirt’izing” more popular movies (“t-shirt’izing”: Verb: To transform a concept or story into a t-shirt). I’m glad they decided to branch out though, as I love The Life Aquatic. It’s a great flick. Heck, I like it so much that I already own an awesome Zissou t-shirt from Waterloo.

The Belafonte is the research ship of Steve Zissou (played by Bill Murray). If you haven’t seen the movie, you probably think this t-shirt sucks. If you have, I think this shirt is a cool reference to the movie. I love how they diagrammed the entire ship out like the movie–good stuff.

This shirt will gently rob your wallet to the tune of $20.00 at Busted Tees (not bad at all). Remember you can always save money with one of my Busted Tees coupons, and check out The Life Aquatic, along with Wes’ other stuff.

This awesome The Goonies inspired t-shirt doesn’t need an explanation (for those who saw the movie), which is good, because I’m quite frankly too tired to give one. All I’m gonna say is that this shirt is pretty cool, and it’s available for $10.00 for 24 hours onlyat Teefury. Don’t miss out on a chance to add some sweet, cheap, and funny Goonies apparel to your closet.

I just got an email about a new t-shirt brand called Loud Lion, run by a soon-to-be husband and wife combo. I dig their designs. They’re very simple an monochromatic, which I definitely like in this situation. It’s more toned down than some of the other tees I post, which I think definitely has its place in any good t-shirt collector’s closet. This is probably my favorite design from their (currently) five design collection. It’s called Hit Squad, and consists of a hot air balloon carrying a tank. Awesome…

This awesome, awesome shirt, called Uncle Reginald, comes from the brand Chuck U. This character, Reginald, is ridiculously goofy and awesome–especially the mustache. I have no idea what else to write (I’ve already used awesome three times!), so I’m just gonna tell you a bit about Chuck U. This shirt is awesome though…

Chuck U is a freelance illustrator from Minneapolis. Chuck’s done tons of illustrations and has been featured in galleries, magazines, and other things of that ilk. He sells both art prints and t-shirts, and his style is awesome (look at that again…). He has shops at both at Storenvy (7 different t-shirts), and Etsy (seems to be mostly prints). Even if you’re not planning to buy his stuff, check out his designs. You can grab this specific shirt, Uncle Reginald, at his Storenvy shop. You can also buy it as a print at Etsy.
